• Conduct risk assessments and create safety plans
• Support engagement in education, training, or employment
• Work jointly with multi-agency partners to ensure coordinated safeguarding responses
• Advocate for vulnerable young people, ensuring their voices are heard in decision-making

You thrive in fast-paced environments and are driven by a strong commitment to safeguarding and social justice.

Haringey is a vibrant, diverse borough full of energy, culture, and community spirit. Known as the "rebel borough", we champion inclusion, stand up for equality, and take pride in doing things differently.
